Politics Society
Our society is one of the best ways politics students can get to know each other, settle into student life and enhance their university experience.
PolSocPod
The PolSocPod is a student-led podcast group that has 3 different shows - The Interview, Open Mic, and Pint Size Politics. More information on how to get involved is available on the Instagram @PolSocPod. We feature guest speakers ranging from staff to students - and on special occasions beyond the campus! Find us on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Radio Public, and Breaker.
PolSoc Paper
We also have our UoS PolSoc Paper open to all of those in PolSoc who are interested in journalism. We accept articles from all over the political spectrum which are reviewed collectively by members. If you're interested in Politics and want to write about it, get involved!
Talks
We partner with a variety of academics, professionals, and alumni to bring our members exciting and insightful talks and workshops.
Some of our most recent talks have been on topics such as 'Can the Conservative party survive?' from British political researcher and emeritus Professor Andrew Gamble and 'Politics, policy, and the prime minister' from former advisor to Gordon Brown, Professor Michael Jacobs.
Socials
We work with other political societies to ensure we are offering dynamic events that reach everyone on the political spectrum. Our social secretaries work to expand the activities on offer, from nights out and dance events to fancy dinners and sober socials with absolutely no drinking initiations!
Sports
We have a number of successful sports teams in the intramural leagues. Including Netball and Men's football and Women's Football, with both 6 aside and 11 aside teams. Whether you're a professional or a complete beginner, everyone is welcome to join the sport team of their choice. Plus each sports team organises their own socials!
